    I have a 6 month ram lamb, Suffolk X. A local sheep farmer has taken an interest in it for breeding. What’s a fair guide price as I have no idea at all? It is a good looking animal. This lamb and another ram lamb were destined for the freezer.

    What weight is it. If he is around 50kgs it would be around 100 euro

    The farmer offered 200 for both ram lambs which I accepted, so at least I now know that we should both be happy with the deal. They were around 45 Kg.
    Thanks.
